Although modern western society isn't a full-on gerontocracy, there are many unnecessary gerontocratic traits within society that merits a person based on their age rather than their qualities. For example there's a age-threshold for running for office, and various other age-thresholds are increasingly normalized. Although these laws may not in and of themselves have earth-shatteringly negative consequences for society, the precedence this sets, and the inevitable conventionalisms it subsequently begets might entrench otherwise ambivalent social stances such as adultcentrism, helicopter parenting and adultism. In a society which respects both the physiological differences between males and females as well as innate psychological differences, a boy who is raised in a single mother household is more likely to be in god stead. However, in a society which accepts gerontocratic as well as ''momad'' traits, natural defenses against intrusiveness or attempts by a woman to intersperse or vicariously live her life through her son may be ineffective. | Although modern western society isn't a full-on gerontocracy, there are many unnecessary gerontocratic traits within society that merits a person based on their age rather than their qualities.

There are both legal and social features of society which magnify and amplify the side-effects of a momad syndrome-style upbringing: | |||
*[[Female sociolegal privilege]] | |||
*Women are better than men: | |||
**[[Women-are-wonderful effect]] | |||
**Female oriented [[Halo effect]] | |||
